HUNTSVILLe, Ala. (WHNT) - Tarica Hillman had a few minutes to talk before she had to hustle to work. She's spending the summer at the Freedom School, working with a program that encourages children to read.

Her sister Anissa had a little more free time. She's taking a short break this summer, having just graduated from Alabama A&M and now preparing to pursue her master's in psychology. She was spending part of the day rehearsing the speech that she'll nervously be giving tonight.
